Connection monitoring as part of the Sync API

Connection monitoring as part of the Sync API

I'm using the Sync API in iOS and notice that it prints out warnings to the console when a network connection isn't available. It would be nice to be able to capture these warnings to drive app logic or turn them into alert messages for the user. I suppose I could use Reachability, but if Dropbox is already monitoring the connection, why not make that available as part of the API?

The Sync SDK itself is designed such that it will continue operating even while offline so that the app wouldn't really need to know if it was online or not. If your app does need to know the network status, we recommend using Reachability. I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request though.
